Definitions

  • Embodiments of the invention relate to a kit for a fuel cell stack and a method for producing a fuel cell stack of a fuel cell device.
  • Fuel cell devices are used for the chemical transformation of a fuel with oxygen to form water, in order to generate electric energy.
  • fuel cells contain as their key component a so-called membrane electrode assembly, which is formed from a proton-conducting membrane with an electrode arranged on either side of it (anode and cathode).
  • gas diffusion layers may be arranged on both sides of the membrane electrode assembly, on the sides of the electrodes facing away from the membrane.
  • the fuel especially hydrogen (H 2 ) or a hydrogen-containing gas mixture, is supplied to the anode, where an electrochemical oxidation of H 2 to form H + takes place, giving off electrons.
  • the membrane which electrically insulates and separates the reaction spaces from each other, there occurs a water-bound or water-free transport of the protons H + from the anode space to the cathode space.
  • the electrons provided at the anode are conveyed across an electrical line to the cathode.
  • the cathode is supplied with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas mixture, so that a reduction of O 2 to O 2 ⁇ occurs, taking up electrons.
  • the oxygen anions in the cathode space react with the protons transported across the membrane to form water.
  • This water needs to be drained out from the fuel cell and the fuel cell stack, until a moisture level necessary for the operation of the fuel cell device is achieved.
  • Fuel cell devices are used in the most diverse of systems, for example in motor vehicles, in commercial vehicles, or even in household appliances, so that many different requirements are placed on each individual unit cell formed from a distribution plate comprising media channels and a membrane electrode assembly. Between every two adjacent distribution plates, which together can form a bipolar plate, a cooling medium typically also flows to the suitable temperature control of the fuel cell stack.
  • the three media namely, the fuel, the cathode gas, and the coolant, are taken separately from each other to the respective active regions of the unit cells, the supply and the drainage occurring through so-called media guides. This supplying and draining of each medium to or from the active region of the cell occurs perpendicular to the stacking direction of a fuel cell stack.
  • One such media guide or one such “external header” can be found, for example, in DE 10 2017 210 263 A1, being arranged laterally on a plurality of fuel cells of the same design, stacked on top of each other, in order to guide a medium laterally, i.e., perpendicular with respect to the stacking direction, into the active regions.
  • the media guide is associated with a piezoelement, which his adapted to establish a flow cross section in the lateral direction, by which the supplying and the 10 draining of media can be optimized in flexible manner.
  • DE 10 2014 220 682 A1 likewise describes a fuel cell stack having an element which can be inserted in a media port, the element having a shape which produces a suitable distribution of the medium among the unit cells. These inserts in the supply openings serve to equalize the pressure distribution of the medium respectively supplied to and drained from the unit cell.
  • a fuel cell stack is also described in US 2011/0244353 A1, comprising media ports in which an adjustable element can be inserted in order to provide an equal distribution of the pressure for the medium.
  • This pressure distribution can be adjusted variably by shifting the individual elements in order to narrow the cross section of the media guide.
  • bipolar plates can have smaller dimensions in their design, since there are no media ports.
  • the costly material for bipolar plates can be economized, since the external media guides, which are arranged laterally on the fuel cell stack, can be made from a cheaper material.
  • the costliest part of any fuel cell is the active surface, which is used to generate a current. Hence, it is desirable to produce unit cells of the same design. Different power classes can then be handled by stacking the unit cells in different numbers.
  • kits for a fuel cell stack as well as a method for the production of a fuel cell stack for a fuel cell device with which the fuel cell stack can easily be adapted to different power conditions.
  • the kit comprises in particular a first plurality of unit cells of the same design, which can be stacked on top of each other in a stacking direction and which each have one or more media channels and a membrane electrode assembly, the membrane electrode assembly comprising a cathode, an anode, and a membrane arranged between the cathode and the anode.
  • the kit comprises a first media guide, which can be laterally connected to the first plurality of unit cells and runs parallel to the stacking direction, having a first usable flow cross section, in order to guide a medium into or out from the media channels of the unit cells of the first plurality of unit cells substantially laterally with respect to the stacking direction.
  • the kit comprises a second plurality of unit cells of the same design and a second media guide, which can be connected laterally to the two pluralities of unit cells stacked on top of one another and running parallel to the stacking direction, having a second usable flow cross section, different from the first usable flow cross section, in order to guide a medium into or out from the media channels of the unit cells of the two pluralities of unit cells substantially laterally to the stacking direction.
  • the use of different geometries in the external “headers”, i.e., the laterally attachable media guides, means that the media supply process of the stack can be optimally designed for every power class with no compromises. Since higher power classes of a fuel cell device mean higher media consumption, each media supply and/or media drain is optimized in that, for larger power classes, the external media guides with a larger conduit cross section may be mounted on the stacked unit cells.
  • the first usable flow cross section of the first media guide may be smaller than the second usable flow cross section of the second media guide.
  • first media guides and a plurality of second media guides may be present.
  • the first media guides are formed from a first fuel supply and a first fuel drain, a first cathode gas supply and a first cathode gas drain, and a first coolant supply and a first coolant drain.
  • the second media guides may be formed from a second fuel supply and a second fuel drain.
  • the second media guides may furthermore comprise a second cathode gas supply and a second cathode gas drain, and a second coolant supply and a second coolant drain. All of the second media guides may have a larger usable flow cross section than is the case for the first media guides.
  • An optimized supplying of the active surface of the stacked unit cells can be achieved, for example, in that the first fuel supply and the second fuel supply can be connected to a first short edge of the stacked unit cells, and the first fuel drain and the second fuel drain can be connected to a second short edge of the stacked unit cells.
  • the rectangular shaped unit cells are provided with media channels which extend up to the respective plate edge of the unit cells, and the fuel supply runs from the first short edge across the active region to the second short edge of the unit cells.
  • the first cathode gas supply and the second cathode gas supply may be connectible to a first long edge of the stacked unit cells. and the first cathode gas drain and the second cathode gas drain to be connectible to a second long edge of the stacked unit cells.
  • the cathode gas supply can be deflected in this case, so that the cathode gas supplies and the cathode gas drains are arranged offset at the two opposite long edges.
  • the first coolant supply and the second coolant supply can be connected to a first long edge of the stacked unit cells, and the first coolant drain and the second coolant drain can be connected to a second long edge of the stacked unit cells.
  • the coolant it is possible for the coolant to undergo a deflection, so that the coolant supply at the first long edge is arranged opposite, but with an offset, to the coolant drain located at the second long edge.
  • the ratio of the first usable flow cross section and the second usable flow cross section of the fuel supplies and/or the fuel drains may be different from the ratio of the first usable flow cross section and second usable flow cross section of the cathode gas supplies and/or the cathode gas drains. In this way, further design space can be economized.
  • the usable flow cross sections of the cathode gas supply and/or the cathode gas drain and/or the coolant supply and/or the coolant drain may be rectangular in shape, and the usable flow cross sections of the fuel supply and/or the fuel drain may form a circular segment, at least for a portion, or entirely.
  • the method for production of a fuel cell stack for a fuel cell device involves in particular the following steps:
  • This method has the advantage that the fuel cell stack can be easily produced, such that it is adapted to the desired power capacity, the flow cross sections of the media guides being adapted to the number of stacked unit cells of the same design.
  • the unit cell used can remain intact, ensuring an optimal media supply for any given stack size thanks to the use of different media guides.
  • Different power classes of the fuel cell stack can be realized by different numbers of stacked unit cells.
  • the stackable unit cells of the same design may have a pair of parallel arranged receiving slots running in the stacking direction, a free end of the at least one media guide being accommodated in each receiving slot, and at least one of the receiving slots comprising a latch seat in which a latch situated on at least one of the free ends is accommodated, especially in form-fitting manner.
  • both the latch seat and the latch are cylindrical.
